her roots

Chesley (pronouned Chess - lee) is a designer who is fueled by data and strategy just as much as she is inspired by art and photography. She recently completed a Masters of Architecture at Tulane University, a unique, five year accelerated, professional program in the heart of New Orleans. During her tenure there, she held numerous leadership positions on campus and worked with prospective students in the Admissions Office, while also tackling challenging design projects and accepting small creative commissions. She functions best when balancing technical, interpersonal, and design projects, and loves to spend her free time lettering in coffee shops around D.C. and exploring cities through sketching and photography.
